Re: Target suing man who saved girls life
I heard their stock is tanking in a market report yesterday... funny how they were trying to make it sounds like it was due to poor market conditions, not policies that are driving their customers away.

Re: Target suing man who saved girls life
What is wrong with these people? Are they trying to bankrupt the company? I will not be going to a Target store in the future, there is no way I could support a business that has these type of policies.
Re: Target suing man who saved girls life
As Paul Harvey woulda said, here's the part of the story left out by The Federalist article.
This "hero" & a couple of his friends had an altercation with a homeless, mentally ill guy and then jumped in their car to try & find him. The "hero" ran into the Target store WITH a baseball bat, ran up the escalator to find the guy, and had more 'words' with the mental homeless guy. Homeless guy grabs teenage girl & pulls out a knife to show 'he means business' (... remember, he's a mental homeless guy; this must have made sense to him on some alternative wavelength...), to wit our "hero" springs into action & tackles/chases homeless nut out of the store with the baseball bat that he brought with him.
If Target wants to sue him & his homeboys for bringing street justice into their stores, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Re: Target suing man who saved girls life
It felt like there was a lot missing from the article, this really shouldnt be news.
Re: Target suing man who saved girls life
If I'm following this correctly, I'm curious to what street justice you're referring to? It sounds to me like the "hero" caused the mentally ill person to irrationally attack the girl and that wouldn't have happened if the "hero" hadn't come after him first.Mike S wrote:As Paul Harvey woulda said, here's the part of the story left out by The Federalist article.

Re: Target suing man who saved girls life
The other part is I think the girl's family is suing Target for failing to provide security or something. Target is countersuing the 3 men claiming they are liable. The girl's family is the one forcing Target to sue the men since they do have some responsibility in this mess. At least that is what I got from reading links earlier.

Re: Target suing man who saved girls life
Im just glad the guy was there to stop it even if he might have escalated it. I hate to think of the outcome if this ill man had got into an altercation with someone else and no one was there to stop it if he chose to attack a child.C-dub wrote:If I'm following this correctly, I'm curious to what street justice you're referring to?

Re: Target suing man who saved girls life
The thing appears to be that it wouldn't have happened at all if the "hero" weren't there. It seems that he stopped something that he caused.

Re: Target suing man who saved girls life
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I have the same take on this (...I think...) as you; the (so called) "hero" & his three friends (one in car with him; the other two chased the homeless guy towards the Target store) were no longer in jeopardy (assuming that the mentally ill homeless guy randomly attacked them originally, without provocation). This is the street justice i was implying. It's convenient that The Federalist article left out these details, but had the column space to relate this with Target's employee restroom policy.C-dub wrote:If I'm following this correctly, I'm curious to what street justice you're referring to?

but that guy was a ticking time bomb. I believe we would of heard something about him in the future had this incident not occurred.C-dub wrote:The thing appears to be that it wouldn't have happened at all if the "hero" weren't there. It seems that he stopped something that he caused.

From 84 to 68 in last 30 days. DJI is down slightly over same period. So they are underperforming significantly.Pariah3j wrote:I heard their stock is tanking in a market report yesterday... funny how they were trying to make it sounds like it was due to poor market conditions, not policies that are driving their customers away.

Re: Target suing man who saved girls life
Yeah, not all advertising has its desired effect. They ran a non-English commercial several times during "Nashville" last week which was the final nail in their coffin for wife. She cut up her target card at that moment and swore she would never set foot in that store again.sbrawley wrote:Oddly, the S.O. and I were watching a television show on Hulu and at every commercial break, 2 out of the 3 commercials were for Target.
